STEP 7

STEP 7 is the software for programming programmable logic controllers (PLC) of the SIMATIC S7 family from Siemens AG and is the successor to STEP 5 for the SIMATIC S5 controllers. Due to the widespread use of SIMATIC controllers (PLC and PC-based controllers), STEP 7 has become a quasi-standard in Germany and competes with other programming tools that are also based on IEC 61131-3.

STEP 5 is the programming software for the programmable logic controllers Simatic S5 from Siemens. Siemens discontinued this software on October 1, 2005, as the Simatic S5 is no longer being developed. S5 is being followed-up by Simatic S7 with the STEP 7 programming software. With STEP 5, user programs can be created for all Simatic S5 programmable controllers.
